Bhutan is the last of the Vajrayana Buddhist countries preserving its rare and unique history and culture. Many realized masters, both male and female, of Buddhism have practiced in Bhutan, including: Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, Milarepa, Machig Lhadron and Longchenpa. On pilgrimage we meditate and pray in the very places where these masters lived, often in temples hundreds of years old, some of them undisturbed since being built in the 8th century.

Going on pilgrimage is a profound practice, one which may bring about deep transformation and openings spiritually. We also get a feel for how Buddhism, and in particular Vajrayana, permeates and is practiced in its native culture in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

Making this pilgrimage even more unique, Lama Döndrup will be joining us on this pilgrimage.

with love,

Lama Palden
